Interwoven TeamPortal for mySAP Enterprise Portals Provides Seamless Integration of Enterprise Content into Corporate Portals, Boosting Employee Productivity

SUNNYVALE, Calif. - July 23, 2002 - Interwoven, Inc., (Nasdaq: IWOV), the leader in Enterprise Content Management (ECM), today announced the general availability of Interwoven TeamPortal for mySAP Enterprise Portals, offering a rapid, seamless integration of content management features into a single portal interface. The integrated solution is the result of joint development efforts between SAP and Interwoven and is available immediately from Interwoven.

"Complex portal developments demand a third-party content management system," advised analyst Nicholas Wilkoff of Forrester Research in a recent brief, "Why Enterprise Portals Need Content Management," dated May 30, 2002. "Firms that plan to aggregate content from multiple sources, support hundreds of business users for content creation, and frequently update large volumes of content should plan to invest in a content management system."
